WWII Begins: Early Pacific Battles Main Idea: In the early years of WWII, the allies struggled to remain in control of Europe and the Pacific. The US’s involvement brought increased morale, as well as, more supplies. By 1942 the Allies began to push back the Axis.

What would you do if you had to go to the bathroom? If anyone had to, they went right in their drawers as they walked. If you stopped or got off to the side, you would have been bayoneted or shot. I didn't go to the bathroom because I had nothing to pass. Body fluid came out in sweat. I don't recall going to the bathroom until we got up to Camp O'Donnell. The first time I urinated, I thought I was going to die. It burned like sin.

What about wounded American soldiers? They were expected to keep up like everyone else, regardless of their condition. But, some wounded prisoners just couldn't go on. They were either bayoneted, beat with clubs, rifle butts, or shot. Some soldiers had diarrhea so bad that they couldn't keep up and the Japanese shot them.

What was the Oriental Sun Treatment? During the day, at some point, the Japanese would call a halt. We would go to an open field and sit down. We just sat there, the hot sun beating down on us like mad. After an hour or so, they would get us up and we would start walking again.

MacArthur’s Vow “I came through, and I shall return!”

How can we get back at the Japanese? Pacific Battle #2: Doolittle’s Raid April 1942

After the fall of the Philippines, why did FDR want to bomb Tokyo? A.) Boost American morale with a major hit. B.) Prove that our B-52 bombers could fly to Japan and back. C.) Neither

Who was put in charge of planning the bombing of Tokyo? A.) MacArthur B.) Eisenhower C.) Duh, it’s called Doolittle’s Raid…so Doolittle.

Doolittle’s Plan:

Japanese catch us…so B-25s had to take off early. Doolittle Raid Issues: B-25s planes could take off, but cannot land on aircraft carriers (too big) Japanese catch us…so B-25s had to take off early. Bombs did drop on Tokyo. B-25s cannot make it to friendly skies in China…forced to crash-land enemy territory.

Pacific Theatre Score so far… 1 1 SUDDEN DEATH
